SAN FRANCISCO  As more people reveal their whereabouts on social networks, a new site has sprung up to remind you that letting everyone know where you are  and, by extension, where you're not  could leave you vulnerable to those with less-than-friendly intentions.

I think I broadcast too much, but i kind of doubt people could gather too much about me online. Not that they would want to. There is no cash to steal, no credit cards, and the computer equipment is all older than 4 years.

I posted this last week. You and I think alike bones. Maybe gunny can make me a pretend mod too!

My older son has 1200 "friends" on his facebook. He has a myspace, twitter, and youtube channel. I'm sure there's other sites as well. I cannot even go to the grocery store without running into some random person who says "I was checking out J.'s facebook page and ...." My colleagues and students know more about what's going on with that kid than I do. I find it very, very creepy.
